french don't like so i think it is absolutely dreaming you know european searcher and i think absolutely. absolutely out of the common sense of the french today i think that the luck goal has been elected by. but it is not having a huge ledger it needs to implement what you wish just because you know. seventy or eighty percent of the french nation which don't like what you propose. with protests spreading from france to other european countries demonstrations in london have now also adopted the as a symbol a rally in the city on saturday resulted in clashes needing place to make several arrests including a thirteen year old go. she was one of four people taken into custody during the demonstration we saw

protesters helling smoke bombs that they marched across the capital broken bridges and using traffic delays about one hundred people took part in the protest near downing street wearing the characteristic high visibility jackets they also shouted insults at british prime minister trees in may and called for the u.k.'s immediate exit from the. person can island on the u.s. have all confirmed the man held in russia and spying charges is one of their citizens pull with the former u.s. marine is now at the center of intense media speculation. has more details. haven't they god as get rather used to hearing about russian spies getting caught in america we have the hybrid warfare that you're seeing with russia which is very much forefront inspired master this is the one thing this is a hard and fast rule of trading when you when you go into espionage. particularly
9:07 pm
coming out of the soviet union or russia they will accuse of being a russian spy has treated guilty in a u.s. federal court this time the case is the exact opposite paul whelan an american national and former u.s. marine was arrested in moscow in perhaps the fanciest hotel in the capital but who would have known when the news broke that as many as four countries would end up saying he's our guy about mr we won the embassy violent in moscow has requested consular access to an irish citizen currently detained in russia we are extremely worried about pu whelan we have offered consular assistance consular officials are aware that a canadian citizen has been arrested in russia ambassador huntsman expressed his support for mr whelan and offered the embassy assistance however when it comes to the canadian passport the suspects brother couldn't even say whether he still has
9:08 pm
it or not i don't know i know that he was once a canadian citizen so he may still be and i know that he is an american citizen right now strange but that's how it is paul whelan is in detention in moscow having been charged with espionage although his family is sure the reason he went to russia was just a wedding party the american ambassador had been given permission to see the spy suspect and so he did mr whelan's lawyer is seeking bail for his client but don't forget several countries have lined up to help him out so while u.k. officials are waiting for the green light to get access to the alleged spy their top diplomat has spoken out but our position is very very clear which is a very straightforward point. individuals should not be used as forms of diplomatic leverage and. you know we need to see what these charges are against to understand whether there is a case or not what we know ruling out any theories is told at this stage as to why this might have happened there are very few details on the case that we know of for
9:09 pm
now there hasn't been much reaction from senior officials either but journalists around the world are old all over the story and speculation is rife he faces up to twenty years in a russian jail deal of cash plenty of time to be swapped to dispose of. what's most likely as we'll as a pawn in russia just play to get back one of its spies after maria patino here in the united states the re of boots do you believe the arrest of your brother was retaliation was revenge in some way by the russians as you've just heard many are linking this case with the case of maria bhutto she was arrested in america in july and eventually pleaded guilty to conspiring against the u.s. with the russian government official and at least one other person without notifying the attorney general however the fact is the charges brought against maria boots and and paul whelan are completely different. only of this week the
9:10 pm
washington post published an article about mr wade into tension and its fullness cia officials doubted we even with the spy saying random americans without diplomatic community on sent to collect a lower level in fact we asked legal the media and less lionel for his reaction. he says that we only use according to this people with diplomatic immunity when you look at this as far as the illegality of it what is the role of the diplomatic community how does that work are does that in any way interfere with spying and vice versa you're not going to see a lot of people address this and you know i don't see a lot of people in american media in the american media speak to this particular point we must ensure that all individuals in all countries are accorded the rights that are that are available to them what's fascinating is that you will see
9:11 pm
american mainstream media in particular that does not have necessarily some of the best newsrooms some of the best. let's say experts available who will have to feed that twenty four seven media monster you have to feed it you have to give it something you're going to talk to anybody who's ever remotely work with the cia was in the cia drove by the cia knew somebody who was in the cia so a lot of times you're not going to see some of the best vetting of the experts. north korea and the u.s. need to act more and talk less to solve the deadlock in the peace negotiations that's according to comments by an advisor to the south korean president it comes off to kim jong un and new year address in which this expressed readiness for dialogue but warned of the dangers of failed to play missy none of them told us i
9:12 pm
am ready to meet with the u.s. president again and to any time a new threat to bring about outcomes would be welcomed by the international community however the united states continues to break its promises misjudges our patience by unilaterally demanding certain things pushes she had with sanctions and pressure against our own public and we may have to seek another way to protect our country sovereignty interests and peace and stability on the korean peninsula. it was a thorny if in north korea and the u.s. with grave warnings and insults being fired from both sides but as kim jong un and donald trump eventually weaken filed it goes donald looks back at a rather explosive twenty eighteen. at the beginning of twenty scene the state of relations between the united states and north korea could be summed up with a contest as old as time itself the measuring contest in relations seemed unthinkable yet that was exactly what twenty teams brought in some of the first
9:13 pm
cases of classical literature it all began with a woman. this is still north korea's leader could easily make a run at the gold medal if political freestyle was a millon produce a plea a human face to the leadership of the reclusive state almost all the spoils of the games itself where the teams of north and south korea walked under one flag in fact even. at least in the way were reconciled in pyong trying at least in the form of the lookalike. double feeling. from. fast forward a couple of months and history's made the leaders of north and south shaking hands smiling michael laughing walking up to shoulder in the no man's land between their
9:14 pm
states. from apply status perspective the whole affair looked almost like a competition incivility with pyongyang peeing to gain the upper hand another all of branch of the world korea obliteration of what they said was the nuclear test site which i got to witness. and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud. in fact odyssey got to see many things but outside i had to pull hello we're inside the west things to north korean leader kim jong il and i'm absolutely shocked. this is how suddenly you get treated. very
9:15 pm
juiced up kim jong residents the whole faja and fury thing seem to go out of fashion fust so don't trump decided to put it aside the summit will happen and personally i think it's going to be a success predictability though always not one of the traits trump is known for he kept the world confused regarding his intentions to meet kim jong until the very last moment is a very substantial chance that it will work as i always say who knows who knows what's going to happen who will either have a very good meeting or we want to have a good meeting and maybe we won't even have a meeting at all it will see how it all works maybe maybe it won't everything's going to be scuttled but eventually the two met and they felt and how shame about their feelings toward each other.
9:16 pm
thank you for the spin. i was really being tough and so we're seeing how we look back and forth and then we fell in love ok one thing that twenty didn't seem in the north korean saga is that donald trump and predictability still don't go together as his emissaries were scolding came from pools living alan sort of a long distance relate. sure but. he can't prove his infatuation through the south korean leader but it could be out of for you into green in the pan or straight years three to place last year sign that perhaps the two koreas don't really need
9:17 pm
anyone but each other to find reconcile. another round of budget talks between congressional democrats and the white house seems to have led nowhere with the us government shutdown entering its third week the sticking point is funding for donald trump's border wall and the democrats again calling for impeachment the u.s. president is threatening to take radical action. if you considered using emergency powers to grant yourself authorities to build this wall without congressional approval and second i don't have to go you have yes i have and i can do it if i want so you don't need congressional approval to build know we can use i'm absolutely we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country i absolutely know we can do it i haven't done it i may do it i may do it from did indicate after the meeting when he spoke that he would actually consider calling a national emergency in order to construct his wall so that he could do so without
9:18 pm
the approval of congress trump also summarize the meeting he felt the meeting was productive but the representative seemed to have the other idea we had a very very productive meeting lengthy and sometimes contentious it's very hard to see how progress will be made unless they open up the government we recognize on the democratic side that we really cannot resolve this until we open our government he said he'd keep the government closed for a very long period of time months or even years from also said that in the meeting nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives that she told donald trump that she had no interest in impeachment they were not looking for impeachment that's the quote there has been a call to get the ball rolling and kind of jump start impeachment proceedings against trump from some democrats one democrat in the house of representatives actually used some rather colorful language to make this call police don't want and
9:19 pm
maybe don't because we're going to go in there we're going to be some of them. while trump said that he was told by nancy pelosi that quote we're not looking for impeachment in the meeting that just happened nancy pelosi has elsewhere said that she would be open to the impeachment of us president trump we shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason and we should avoid punishment political reasons we've reached this point where if you have control of congress. or half of congress and. the president is from the other party you attack the president by refusing to provide the votes to pass the president's agenda he'd run into problems right away because there is no national emergency is causing this this impasse over something that most americans don't really want or care about i think that the upper hand goes to the democrats and they're just going to wait him out until his
9:20 pm
own party tells him he has to fund the government because it's costing the there are supporters too much and it's costing the country too much to hold a quarter of the government unfunded for a lengthy period of time is going to cause so much pain that he's going to have to cave. in a historic splits the newly formed orthodox church of ukraine has been granted the penance from the russian church but it's despite happiness in political circles many christians are not content with the may medina question of a hassle a long awaited president has finally been delivered to ukraine patriarch of constantinople has granted its new queen and are to dogs charge and autonomy on the eve of our two dogs christmas special decree went down officially recognizing an independent ukraine and art and alex church and of course crimean presidents petro
9:21 pm
poroshenko was there shedding tears of crush it flowed thank god it would be impossible with our daughter blessing. i want to thank the millions of people craniums across the globe this has become possible thanks to your prayers well sems like add for one's happy but once all the fuss about churches independence from hope. per se interest in ukraine. are to dogs church has been under control of moscow patrick kate and everyone has been ok with it until the fall of the soviet union and ukrainian independence and nine hundred ninety one gradually tensions between the churches. through the years and more and more voices and signs ukraine demanding churches and dependence sounds like some religious dispute so once a full autonomy in terms of its parish financing and lands but in fact how much of
9:22 pm
it does keith actually get while the documents signed states that ukraine in church actually falls under control of constantinople ukrainian are dogs church can control only territory with then ukraine and as perhaps but it creates any parishes abroad and all disputes are going to be sas was by constantinople so basically it is just replacing moscow by constantinople but well present par shango is struggling in the polls they had of march presidential election and experts say while making this a centerpiece policy of his campaign he hopes to win over it and more than that other are to dogs churches are not thrilled that ole by the move the tentacles of globalization to trying to penetrate the church to destroy its politicians in charge of food is a clear sign of this should. lead by corrupt politicians and illegal assisted by
9:23 pm
the constantinople have deepened and worsen the already existing splits and put the unity of orthodox christianity as a whole in danger and inside ukraine in church itself there is not much unanimity when the plan of autonomy has been announced back in autumn one of the branches so if you crane in church has slammed the plan we consider these actions to be. not bring anything to you except trouble separation and. but as at least anyone supporting the move apart from ukraine itself while you last have guessed the answer the united states reiterate strong support for religious freedom and the freedom of members of religious groups including ukraine's orthodox community to govern their religion according to their beliefs free of outside interference oh well not everything one calls freedom as actually making you free.
9:24 pm
and american orthodox priests muc tyson has resigned from the path of constantinople as a result of his actions in ukraine has now joined the russian orthodox church father tyson any a told us more about why he came to this decision. i want to be in communion with christ and the church and i feel that the the actions that have occurred over any crime have definitely placed people outside the church if you will the head of the the new church it's been created in ukraine metropolitan to be funny it's not a parish he was ordained by the so-called patriarch phil already after he had been reduced to the status of a layman how do we commemorate someone who doesn't even have a valid open nation i don't want to see metropolitan new free because bishops his priests his people persecuted i don't want to see them thrown out of their churches and monasteries and i don't want to see the most rested interrogated there is
9:25 pm
a potential for that to happen and i'm not being hysterical if they're definitely occur. i drove by my my former parish yesterday on the way to visit someone who is ill after seventeen years of serving there now i am only able to do it so any more there's a separation between myself and people that i love very deeply and it's directly related the feat of patriarch bartholomew maybe he wasn't thinking about the so-called little people when he made these decisions which of course can be seen on a very brand of geopolitical scale but the fact of the matter is people. who are wonderful dear orthodox believers have lost their faith their priest not just me but father nick charles trevino in manassas virginia and also the priest in florence italy and who knows how many others they lost the stability of their parish life that's how it's affected us here in america. it is that very dangerous because if let's just say a number of the autocephalous churches do not accept the ukrainian new church then
9:26 pm
we will have a schism a break and then there may be a serious break in communion and we have disunity in the church this is the most serious question we've faced and close to a thousand years. there are many levels to this decision some of them could be because of the traditional and historical rivalry between cause that's a couple of moscow off some of them could be because of western political influences there is no doubt that seems as though a political players from both the european union and the united states are involved . being busted for drug dealing could spell the end feel career prospects and math telling is something you happen to be good at anything that was the case the tail ek students.
9:27 pm

9:29 pm
a big part of new things a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
